Product Description
More than a collection of fishing stories, A Place on the Water is a passionate and eloquent exploration of subjects with broad appeal: love of land and water, informed and unsentimental appreciation of nature, and outrage at changes that threaten to obliterate places we can no longer afford to take for granted. In clear and sparkling prose, Jerry Dennis transports us to a world that every angler dreams of-where the very next cast will be the one that hooks something enormous and wonderful.

A Place on the Water December 24, 2007
A Place on the Water: An Angler's Reflections on Home
My first review and this book deserves it. "A Place on the Water" belongs on the shelf of every outdoorsman, especially if you have fished the Midwest. Fully captures the joys of youth, family, friends, and the outdoors. The best of short story, outdoor writing.
Very Enjoyable June 30, 2007
My father-in-law lent me his copy knowing that I enjoy both a good read and a day on the water. I really enjoyed Mr. Dennis' home-spun stories which described his love of the outdoors from childhood through adulthood. I also enjoyed the beautiful illustrations. Living and fishing in the upper midwest my whole life makes me feel right at home in the lakes and streams described in the book. I look forward to picking up one of Mr. Dennis' other books.
Great book, Great author January 20, 2004
I think this is probably the best outdoor book I have ever read. Jerry Dennis has a way of making you laugh and realize how much the water means to you as an angler. Every angler should have a copy of this book in their library.

This is the first book by Jerry Dennis that I have read, and I love it! I grew up in Michigan and have fished some of the same places mentioned in the book. He shares some very fasinating childhood tales. I couldn't put it down until I had read it from cover to cover. Enjoy!
A fine read... January 15, 2000

Jerry weaves a number of tales from his boyhood through life with fine dexterity and aptitude towards the human experience. The short story of Christmas and the death of his friends father was especially touching. You won't be diappointed.
